Updated data from NASA satellite instruments reveal the Earths polar ice caps have not receded at all since the satellite instruments began measuring the ice caps in 1979. Since the end of 2012, moreover, total polar ice extent has largely remained above the post-1979 average. The updated data contradict one of the most frequently asserted global warming claims that global warming is causing the polar ice caps to recede.
The timing of the 1979 NASA satellite instrument launch could not have been better for global warming alarmists. The late 1970s marked the end of a 30-year cooling trend. As a result, the polar ice caps were quite likely more extensive than they had been since at least the 1920s. Nevertheless, this abnormally extensive 1979 polar ice extent would appear to be the normal baseline when comparing post-1979 polar ice extent.

So, who are you guys gonna believe ... NASA or Al Gore?
But...but...but...it has to be!
The lead scientist (or engineer), as political hack, of the previous report. and all the others signed as co-authors should be fired.
Then how do you explain all those polar bears coming down with asthma? Huh? Huh?
Here’s their “rescue mechanism” -
the ice is broader, but thinner!
Anther story was the expeditions to the Antarctic were having difficulty getting there because of all the ice.
“But...but...but...it has to be!”
“Our continuing paychecks and grants depend on it!” So say the “climatologists” at our “major universities. Without the dumb taxpayers loot, we will be unable to keep bull$hitting them while we live high on the hog!” They just don’t know how they are going to “live” on anything less than $500k a year!
Too late, the science is already settled. No need for more debating.
Ping.
Did they translate that from Arabic? That's all NASA does now...
Well, isn’t that an “Inconvenient Truth?”
Polar bears require receding ice in their habitat for survival. This current news of human-caused climate change spells bad times for the polar bears!
Human emissions of carbon dioxide combined with mercury emissions from coal plants has caused this catastrophic pause in the normal recession of sea ice that will be devastating for indigenous peoples and polar bears.
lol! I remember just last year there were heartrending stories of indigenous people starving and having their coastlines destroyed because the ice went away.
Yea? Well, it’s getting COLDER because of globull warming!
Absolutely.
It’s hard to keep a lie going about something as obvious as ‘is the ice there - or is it not there’....
BTTT
In fact the mass of ice increased 50%.
